The Court warned of serious consequences for repeated errors or negligence in handling case files and instructed the Registry to provide a report explaining its determination that the petition was filed on time.
The Supreme Court cautioned the Registrar to ensure diligence among assistants, due to a missing order and critical report in a case file.
